Year of the Snake, 2013

How's your year going so far?  I found this rare and very friendly rubber boa last night, which certainly made my day!  The California whipsnake I picked up earlier this year wasn't quite as patient with me picking him up.  After getting bitten, I put on some gloves so I wouldn't run the risk of being started into dropping him if he did it again.  It was still a great honor to get to know him for a few minutes!
